Chapter 628 rise from the ground
"This is the power of human beings. In less than a year, a modern city has sprung up!" Looking at the huge city in front of him, which almost appeared on the plain, Liu Xu exclaimed.

Although only about 30 days have passed in the real world, in the white elephant world, it is another 300 days, nearly a year.

But let's push back the time by 20 days, that is, just after the Yaozu War, all the population has been transferred to the White Elephant World, and at the same time Liu Xu has completely devoted his time and energy to the new construction climax of the White Elephant World.

On this day, Liu Xu finally got accurate information from the medical sages in charge that all the immigrants had completed the adaptation work in the White Elephant World, so in the end it was very unfortunate that 786 people died in the camp, but among the 300 million people In front of the numbers, these 786 people are not worth mentioning.

Of course, Liu Xu, who has a deep insight into and inherited the famous saying "stability overwhelms everything", did not choose to erase the 786 people directly. Instead, he erected a monument for them, and at the same time solemnly received the families of the 786 people. After giving them deep comfort, they were also provided with a subsidy of 1 Yuewen coins each.

Reading currency is the currency launched by Liu Xuxin, and it is also the currency publicly issued by the novel empire to all citizens. It is even the first currency publicly issued worldwide since the recorded history of the White Elephant World.

Because in the age of caste, the bottom of the society was a pool of stagnant water, there was no opportunity for economic exchange, and the only economic method was barter, so there was no soil for the existence of currency.

However, this does not mean that the people of the Zhou Kingdom do not understand what currency is. On the contrary, they are very aware of the existence and value of currency, but this makes them guard against death and strictly prohibit the emergence of currency.

Because the emergence of currency represents a wider circulation, and wider circulation will make the people at the bottom have more desires, which will destroy the cornerstone of the rule of the caste system, so Zhou Guo very strongly suppressed the emergence of all currencies until After the establishment of the novel empire, Liu Xu launched the world's first worldwide official currency.

At the same time, although there are natural resources such as gold and silver in this world, gold and silver have never been used as currency, so there is no soil for the existence of gold standard or silver standard, so Liu Xu finally chose the grain standard as the basis of currency.

That is to say, the central bank of the novel empire stipulates that 1 reading currency can be directly exchanged for one kilogram of staple food at the central bank, thereby stabilizing the value of the currency.

In this way, the value of 1 Yuewen currency seems to be about 2 yuan. After all, the purchase price of a kilogram of staple food is [-] yuan.But that's the price you get with efficient, modern farming facilities.In ancient times when a farmer could only harvest a few thousand catties of grain a year, the value of Yuewen coins was actually quite high. After all, a farmer's annual net income was only a few thousand Yuewen coins.

Liu Xu gave 1 reading coins in one breath, and the families of the victims were all grateful. Coupled with various commemorative measures, and the fact that the dead can't speak, this incident not only did not cause any instability, but It was their own relatives who made everyone praise Liu Xu, envy them, and wish they could die.

After all the more than 300 million immigrants have recovered, the White Elephant World will usher in its most golden era of development.

Under Liu Xu's careful planning, or a decision made with a slap in the face, the 300 million immigrants and a large number of engineering and agricultural equipment were divided into 5 different parts, and they will be handed over to the five kingdoms under him. Arrange these immigrants and engineering equipment directly, and let them use these resources to develop their own country's capabilities.

This sounds a bit distasteful. It is estimated that the things Liu Xu obtained with great difficulty turned out to be cheaper for his princes.

But there is no way to do it. Liu Xu is an outstanding historian, but he is definitely not an outstanding politician. If you ask him to arrange the work of these millions of people, it will definitely drive Liu Xu crazy. .

On the contrary, the five major vassal states under him are all the most monstrous people in Chinese history. Not to mention the political ability of the founding emperor himself, there are also a large number of capable ministers under his command. They make the most of these population and The power of resources has allowed the entire novel empire to embark on a road of rapid development. At the same time, Liu Xu only needs to grasp the big policies from a high-level plan, and he can play to his heart's content at other times, which is really not too exciting.

Of course, the most important thing is that these princes and kings will never betray Liu Xu, so what is there to worry about?

But just when Liu Xu was about to issue this order, Zhuge Liang who got the news suddenly came over in a hurry, blocked Liu Xu's face and asked directly, "Is the lord planning to cause chaos in the world?"

Zhuge Liang's question confused Liu Xu, and he said after a while, "I want to develop my country, let my country's agriculture and industry develop rapidly, everyone has clothes and food, and the whole country will become It is getting stronger and more stable, how could it be said by the prime minister that the world is in chaos!"

"Liang dare to ask my lord, are these 300 million immigrants your reflection role?" Zhuge Liang asked directly.

"No...you don't know how to ask if you are okay, just say what you want to say!" Liu Xu said helplessly.

"Okay, then I dare to ask my lord, can these 300 million immigrants be banned, only pursue food and clothing, not pursue more spiritual and cultural life, and the so-called freedom, do they not have their own thoughts?" Zhuge Liang asked.

"I'm afraid this won't work!" Liu Xu shook his head and said.

"Then let me ask my lord again, are these immigrant women willing to have a child every year, one after another, with only two months of rest in between, and continue to have children?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

"This is not enough. How can modern people have so many children, and not all of them are my teachers and wives. In fact, the Great Writers Association also has very strong fertility indicators every year, but as far as I know, our birth rate is not high. Many women They don't even want to have children at all, because it will seriously reduce their living standards, and they don't want their children to live in a precarious world!" Liu Xu said.

"Okay, let me ask you again, can these immigrants eat and live with all the natives, live in the same thatched huts, eat the same poor food, live at sunrise and rest at sunset every day, Hardworking and hardworking nailing themselves to the ground, they will do whatever the government asks them to do, making the best low-level consumables?" Zhuge Liang asked again.

Liu Xu stopped talking, he already understood what Zhuge Liang meant.

Seeing Liu Xu's attitude, Zhuge Liang sighed, and finally asked, "Master, can you guarantee that these immigrants will not contact the natives when they disperse, unlike the natives who spread their ideas and tell them about life in another world, and Fraternity, equality, freedom, etc., the outlook on life in the new era?"

"Or if you let them live a life far beyond the living standards of the indigenous people, wouldn't that cause hatred and disputes between the two groups?"

"I understand!" After a long time, Liu Xu stood up with a long sigh and said, "The original order is invalidated. Please select a plain with me, the prime minister, and then remove all the natives near the plain, and let all immigrants give priority to building on this plain." Sanjing City, let all immigrants live in this city, without formal work arrangements, never allow any immigrants to leave Sanjing City!"

"For at least 100 years, the aborigines and immigrants are not allowed to have any communication other than work!" Liu Xu finally said firmly.
